Hi, I write to you, to consult if it is possible to add a row in a dataset tag directly, and if so, how can I do to make this. 😐 Can you provide me help about this? I’ll be very grateful. Best regards Carito ---

Datasets cannot be edited (they are ‘immutable’). What you have to do is read the current dataset, create a new dataset containing the old data and the new row, then write this new dataset to the tag. There are helper functions to make this a bit easier. Have a look in the manual for system.dataset.addRow. ---
